Lexis®PSL Family monthly highlights—September 2016

Article summary

September 2016 highlights from the Lexis®PSL Family team. This month’s highlights include consideration of decisions concerning the accommodation of a 17–year-old child, placement of a child in a secure unit in Scotland and the plain English judgment of Jackson J in Lancashire County Council v M. We also review the President of the Family Division, Sir James Munby’s 15th View from the President’s Chambers as to the crisis in care proceedings, and a decision regarding costs in a case concerning enforcement and registration of foreign child arrangement orders. In addition to links to analysis of other key decisions (as well as those of interest from other practice areas), we detail recently updated and new content in Lexis®PSL Family, including a new subtopic on grandparents and children proceedings and a range of design enhancements to Lexis®PSL to create a fresher, cleaner interface, easier to view topics and improved key resources.
